Interesting that you feel like you're being screwed over... About a year before they implemented this, I heard some stats come out of Discovery that their members on gold cost them the least amount in terms of claims etc. So they implement a program designed to get you fitter (emulate the members on gold, that are costing them less money because they aren't as sick). I'm happy to be screwed over, if I cost my medical aid less, I'm generally a happier person. It would be impossible for them to cater for everyone with one program, this program caters for most people. I'm not sure why you feel like the playing field isn't level? Unfortunately the nature of fitness is that you have to do more and more to keep your fitness, nature's a bitch. If Discovery didn't lower the points for people who didn't reach their points, those people would stop exercising - kind of defeats the point of the program. those people whose points are going up because they're meeting their goals are actually getting fitter and benefiting from the system, in more ways than Discovery's rewards. In the long term they will get sick less, cost their medical aid less and be happier human beings.
